The Tottenham star has not made his way with his international colleagues after recent issues that have kept him out of the north London club's games

Mohammed Kudus has not joined up with Ghana following the injury that has resulted in him missing the past two Tottenham matches.

The 25-year-old has starred for Spurs since arriving in a £55million deal from West Ham in the summer with five assists and one goal in his first 10 Premier League matches for the north London outfit. However, Kudus has missed the past two matches, the 4-0 Champions League victory against Copenhagen and then Saturday's dramatic 2-2 draw with Manchester United, with what was described as a knock by Tottenham boss Thomas Frank ahead of that first game.

Now football.london understands the winger has not joined up with Ghana for their friendlies in Asia against Japan and Son Heung-min's South Korea on Friday and Tuesday respectively.

Frank had said Kudus was "touch and go" for the game against United but was not in the squad on the day. The Ghanaian could be seen standing in the tunnel in the early moments of the game before joining his team-mates on the sidelines to watch the match that brought two added time goals as the teams shared the spoils.

Ahead of the previous European clash against Copenhagen, the Dane had said about the attacker and full-back Djed Spence: "Djed and Mo got a knock. They could and should be available for tomorrow."

Unfortunately Kudus was not available and Frank said on Saturday before kick-off that he was "very confident that he should be available for the next one".

He will be hoping that his summer signing is fit for that next one because there are two big games for Tottenham immediately after the international break as they travel to Arsenal for the first North London Derby of the season on Sunday November 23, and then face a big Champions League match against the reigning champions PSG on Wednesday November 26.

Spurs will be looking to get revenge against Luis Enrique's side after throwing away a 2-0 lead against the French giants in the UEFA Super Cup in August only to lose on penalties.
